Arm, shoulder, and hand

Oh JH, Kim JY, Choi JA et al.  J Shoulder Elbow Surg 2010;19:14–20.

This study provides evidence that computed tomography arthrography is a cost-effective and sensitive method for detecting soft tissue lesions around the shoulder.

 

Soft tissue injury to the shoulder is traditionally investigated with plain radiography and either magnetic resonance arthrography (MRA) or computed tomography arthrography (CTA). Conventional CTA is limited by poor soft tissue contrast and spatial resolution, and has largely been replaced with MRA. However, the recent commercialization of 16-slice multidetector CT has improved the cross-sectional imaging of shoulder pathology. The authors of this study sought to ascertain the cost-effectiveness of 16-slice multidetector CTA and its comparative sensitivity and specificity to MRA.
